So, is this the part where I say "we're not in Kansas anymore"? Sorry to disappoint, but I think it was pretty clear when I took a dunk in your merry and magical fountain about five minutes ago. Way to make a guy feel right at home.

What I'm wondering now, though, is who here has information beyond "we're all trapped in this knockoff city with a bad sense of humor". The ticking is a nice touch, too. I feel like it almost calls for a Peter Pan joke, but I'm not really jiving on that right now.

Anyway, if you have information, I might be able to offer something in return. The "something" depends on what you give me, so make it good. Knock knock jokes need not apply.

And hey, if you have any spare clothes? I'd be really grateful. I think I've flashed about twelve people and scarred a few small children. Whatever brought us here picked a fantastic time to nab me.

[ nineteen days? to his credit, jason doesn't look shocked, per se, just a little bewildered. it keeps him occupied while kori moves to grab the backpack full of clothes, and thank god, jason isn't so sure he's ever been so glad to see clothes in his life (including when they first met. the city is definitely more populated than the island).

but, whatever, he reaches out and takes it, unzipping it nearly immediately. his lips thin into a tight line at her next statement, gaze on the contents of the backpack. ]

Well, shit. Maybe he's even later than I am. [ he's not going to drop his towel, but he is going to pull a shirt over his head, setting the backpack on the ground in the meanwhile. feelings? are hard. ]

Is there anyone we do know here? [ "we" and it still feels bizarre to say. ]

The Flash is here. Though, he is the only member of the Justice League I have seen.

[No Superman. No Batman. It's an odd mix.

She understands, though, that feelings are hard. She gives his arm a comforting pat. ] If he is any later than this, then we will remove pizza privileges from him.

[Also, making out. That's going too. ]

Oh - we should go. Unless you plan to flash everyone again?

Given how flashy they are, he's probably the only one. [ he doesn't mean it as a pun, honestly. they're just as high profile as they come.

he reaches for the backpack and zips it back up, letting out a huff of a chuckle at the idea of kori revoking roy's pizza privileges. ] Aiming straight for the jugular, huh? Cruel, but I like it.

[ there's a groan at the mention of flashing more people, though. ] Yeah, well, they've all got their free eyeful, I think. Any more exposure and they're only going to remember my ass.

[ ahem. but he inclines his head and slings the backpack over one shoulder. ] Let's get out of here.

My apartment here is not like the island. [unfortunately. she considers picking him to carry him - but, those down below would probably get another eyefull. today is two parts hilarious and one part even more hilarious.

she gestures for him to follow her as she begins to walk.]

Humans live in such small spaces. But the people here seem nice, even if they do seem suspiciously complacent to being trapped here.

[do hear that Jason?? she called people nice. she's being civil. ]

You don't have to house me, Kori. [ he's an adult, after all, but maybe the fight is missing from his voice. sticking together is probably the best course of action right now and even jason can't deny that. besides, when has arguing with kori ever gotten him far?

spoiler: never. so, he trails alongside her, one hand busy holding his stupid towel up. ( funny, he never noticed how much hotels really skimp on the fabric of these things until now. ) ]

What's that — nice? You feeling okay? [ but okay, his lips might have quirked into a quick smile, but it vanishes as soon as it appears. ]

Maybe there's something in the water.

[She turns, glancing at him with a smirk. ]

Not everyone here is human. There are Gods, too.

[She pauses, shrugs and gestures for him to follow her around a corner. ] Not Gods like the Gods of Tamaran, however. Some are from centuries in the future. It is very exciting.
